In another sign that wearables are permeating every aspect of daily life, the city of San Francisco has announced the launch of an inaugural "IoT for Cities Summit and Challenge" — to design Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology apps for improving city life for global urban residents.
Launched in collaboration with tech incubator and ventures company Wearable World, the ideas-sharing summit will examine the issues of transportation, hospitality, wireless, entertainment, city services, and healthcare, among others. Its goal is to "build a working blueprint for cities around the world."
